Well, we are not 41 years old, and the war is not on our territory

158

Our country is at war. In Syria, it is open. Where not only terrorists, but also their allies are fighting against us without hiding. There are other wars, secret, but no less important.

There are those who solve problems on these fronts with their blood and lives. And there are "so-called military" who



"The war (which the country is waging) stops at the end of the working day."

And it is not at all a fact that the former influence the situation more strongly than the latter.

Prologue. From a book about war


For the 40th anniversary of Victory (1985) a large series of books was published in the USSR - collections of memoirs of living veterans with many vivid details.

One of the most disturbing to the author (then a student of the USSR) was the memories of a simple driver of a lorry, where there was an episode of the first battles in the Crimea in 1941. Arriving from the front line to the ammunition depot near Simferopol on Sunday, he was faced with the fact that the warehouse manager had a day off.

The issue was eventually resolved, a lorry with shells for artillery went to the isthmus to the fighting troops. But the example of "peacetime psychology" (in a country that had fought to the death in a terrible war for several months) was very striking.

Another war


Report to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Taking into account the problematic issues of conducting hostilities in the Syrian Arab Republic:

• their high cost, and the need to limit it without reducing combat effectiveness;

• limitations of resource indicators of videoconferencing equipment (aircraft and helicopters);

• the need to conduct continuous round-the-clock reconnaissance in the theater of operations - both terrorists and the activities of "so-called partners" (VGK);

• strict requirement of high-precision application weapons Videoconferencing, with documentation of the results of strikes;

• the need to ensure a quick response to changes in the situation (delivery of high-precision strikes of the aerospace forces in the shortest time);

• the need to constantly maintain the network of retransmission and control of the UAV over the entire theater of operations, providing a decisive role in opening and monitoring the situation.

It is proposed to create, in a short time, a reconnaissance and strike system with a low operating cost, designed to solve problems:

• constant and round-the-clock monitoring of the situation in the theater of operations - conducting radio and electronic reconnaissance (RR and RTR) with precise determination of the coordinates of radiation sources, optical-electronic reconnaissance (by means of UAVs);

• retransmission and control of UAV actions over the entire theater of operations;

• operational analysis of the ground situation, generation of control center data with ensuring its operational transmission for aircraft with the Hephaestus system;

• control of actions [cut];

• maintenance of electronic warfare.

The implementation of these tasks is proposed at the expense of a constantly functioning system (complex) from a group of at least 6 aircraft (with a constant presence in the air of at least 2 aircraft) M-101T "Gzhel" (development of the Myasishchev EMZ) with small-sized means of PP, RTR, control and retransmission of UAVs, means of reception and transmission of the control center to VKS aircraft with the Hephaestus system.

An increase in the number of M-101T aircraft (there are sufficient numbers in storage) as part of the complex allows for constant patrolling of 3 pairs of M-101T over the areas:

• Khmeimim-Aleppo;
• Damascus-Palmyra;
• Deir ez-Zor.

The proposed system (complex) in terms of RR and RTR is an improved analogue of the US Armed Forces systems of the Guardrail type with significant superiority in combat capabilities due to the inclusion of UAVs and means of generating and transmitting the control center into the complex.

06.12.2016 years

Earlier, the author has repeatedly addressed reports on a number of issues of the country's military security. And in a number of cases this had consequences.

Example.

At the very beginning of our operation in Syria (due to the fact that at that moment we were still officially “not there”, on the advice of the “senior comrades” the addressee was changed from the Chief of the General Staff to the “Senior military adviser in the SAR”) along a number of problematic issues of our group there.

Then there was a call from a friend:

You “have nothing to do” [another expression was used], what are you writing to NGSH?

The same person calls a few months later:

“Thanks for writing. We made it in time. "

The phrase referred to a problematic security issue, but on which they worked out in a timely manner. And they managed to close it (before the enemy who was preparing for this could take advantage of it).

The "brain organ of war" in our Armed Forces is the General Staff (General Staff), and in it - the Main Operational Directorate (GOU). Accordingly, questions about belonging went to them.

The above report was sent by the author to the e-mail address of the Minister of Defense's reception on the morning of December 6, 2016 (about its background - below). At the same time, there was complete confidence that he would leave as belonging to the GOU GSh.

However, two days later, with amazement and indignation, I learned that he had been signed off to the GUNID (General Directorate of Research Activities).

"We have GUNID engaged in the war in Syria ?!"

I immediately contacted some of the chiefs and heard:

“Of course, his [report] to the GOU is necessary, just the GUNID was turned into an“ office for replies ”.

Disaster in Palmyra


On December 8, ISIS launched a surprise offensive against Palmyra, liberated in early 2016, by December 10, the Syrian army (and Russian advisers) retreated to T4 airbase, leaving the city.


The situation at the beginning of 2017 (after the loss of Palmyra).

Of course, this defeat was primarily due to the failure of our intelligence. And first of all, because it did not have all the necessary technical means to solve the tasks at hand.

The enemy, beaten from the air, managed to covertly concentrate and deliver a sudden powerful blow (such that there was a question about the possibility of losing not only Palmyra, but also T4), largely due to the extreme lack of long-range reconnaissance means in our grouping.

If the near zone was effectively "closed" (first of all, by the best tactical UAVs of the early 2010s "Orlan-10"), then the far zone - only occasionally and periodically could "look" by the "Outposts" (with a number of serious restrictions on the capabilities ).

Had the report hit the GOU GSh on December 6, the planes would not have had time to collect and transfer, of course. But the operators of the GOU could "stab":

“When did we have the latest intelligence data from the Rakka-Palmyra region?

Perhaps there would have been sorties of the "Outposts" that could have exposed the concentration of the enemy strike group?

American example


The impetus for the emergence of the idea of ​​creating such a system was a significant redistribution of funding for defense spending associated with the conduct of hostilities in Syria. Accordingly, there was an urgent need to search for such "instruments of war" that would have a moderate cost and high efficiency.

In 2016, the United States published a number of its documents on the costs of the operation against ISIS in Iraq, including with extremely interesting conclusions and estimates of the cost of operation. aviation technology. The diagram below illustrates this:

Well, we are not 41 years old, and the war is not on our territory

Interestingly, the cost of operating the UAV turned out to be very high, and the hero of the Vietnam War OV-10 turned out to be the record holder in economy.

The M-101 "Gzhel" turboprop aircraft, which we had in significant quantities (in storage), had an even lower cost of the flight.


Of course, this is far from the ideal aircraft choice for such tasks. And the main drawback is one engine.

In this regard, the question of using the L-410 light turboprop aircraft (with two engines) already available to the Ministry of Defense has been repeatedly raised.


However, for the conditions of Syria, this was by no means possible. The idea was to create a permanent "air reconnaissance umbrella" over key enemy areas. L-410 had insufficient flight altitude - in the zone of destruction of enemy air defense systems. That is, their shooting down in such conditions was only a matter of time.

M-101 "Gzhel", which had a pressurized cabin and a marching height of about 7 km, could in these conditions safely "hang" over the enemy, being outside the affected area. And this was key in these conditions.

Yes, I would like "the same, but twin-engine." But "Gzhel" has already been. And in the required quantity. They went into storage for a purely "bureaucratic reason." At the same time, the “similar military normative document” did not contain this “flight brake”.

The developer raised and refined the data on the operating time of all boards, on average they amounted to about 500 hours (that is, 5% of the resource). However, one of the most serious "bureaucratic obstacles" was the very possible procedure for transferring these aircraft to the Ministry of Defense.

At the same time, it is necessary to note and emphasize once again the fairly widespread use of light turboprop aircraft in the west for solving various military tasks.


Aircraft РР and РТР Guardrail (USA).


Launch of ATGM "Hellfire" from a light multipurpose aircraft "Cessna-Caravan", Iraq.

“The war is not on our territory. A promising system is planned "


On December 27, 2016, absolutely unexpectedly, the response to the report came:


Since the artist was indicated on its back, I immediately called him back.

The reasoning for not "was fine" (in quotes). Starting with the fact that "you need two engines and there is an L-410" (the fact that they will be shot down after a couple of sorties, the lieutenant colonel said it was "not interesting"), and ending with the fact that

"A promising unmanned system is planned."

Here it is on the diagram:


Photo: Victor Murakhovsky

Yes, “planned”.

But only the tasks need to be solved “now and yesterday” (not to mention the fact that there are very critical assessments of the appearance of this promising system). Its first set was purchased by the Ministry of Defense only in 2020.

And the most "beautiful" (in quotation marks) phrase of the objected lieutenant colonel (on "tasks need to be solved now") was:

"Well, we are not 41 years old, and the war is not on our territory" ...

That is, there is a war going on. There are those who solve problems with their blood and lives. And there are the "so-called military", for whom "the war (which the country is waging) ends with the end of the working day." (They also "planned" - "a promising system for a bright tomorrow").

Well, and the last example to the question of "the failure of aerial reconnaissance near Palmyra." As, so to speak, an epilogue:


Flight track of Tu-214R aircraft from Khmeimim to Chkalovsky 09.12.2016 (c) www.flightradar24.com / twitter.com/galandecZP

They "flew to the war" ("for a medal" and an entry in the personal file). “For reconnaissance” (in quotes) - with the transpoder turned on (that is, anyone, including the enemy, could observe the location of the aircraft in real-time on flightradar24.com).

"Well, we are not 41 years old, and the war is not on our territory" ...

      It is correct that Stalin, before the Second World War, cleared the USSR Armed Forces of traitors and slobs and brought discipline to the troops. And then all this did not immediately help in early 1941, but at least we won the Second World War.

      war is not on our territory

      And here the fundamental question is inadvertently raised:

      What do people in the Russian Federation consider "not our" territory?

      Moreover, this applies not only to individual colonels, but also to officials, deputies, ordinary people. And finally to the rulers.
      Central Asia, Ukraine, Belarus - is this "not our" territory?
      And what about Transnistria, Abkhazia, LDNR?

          Judging by the way you quickly move on to insults, there are only two opinions for you: yours and the wrong one. smile

          Only there is no universal truth. Each level has its own truth.
          If you think like you, at the everyday level, then yes: if you yourself live well, then enjoy yourself and do not be distracted by all sorts of freaks.
          But if we talk at a higher level, at the state level, or even at the level of civilizations (as Putin put it), then many nuances emerge, on which the existence and development of the Russian Federation depends.

          A simple example: in the Russian Federation it is impossible to create a self-sufficient consumer market (as in China) - there is simply not enough people. A minimum of 250-300 million people are needed. Where to get them from?
          And without its own market there will be no own producers of goods. And what will happen now - walk around your house and see how many Russian goods you have and how many imported ones?

          And this is just one nuance. And there are many of them: resources, geography, climate, features of modern weapons, etc. etc.

          So do not throw insults. Better try to think at a higher level than household.

            And this is where the fun begins! Are you a man or not a man? Talk to your wife, give birth to a couple, throw them in mother-in-law to bring them up, and feed / dress them in 2 jobs in 3 shifts ... But the whole country should know about this - your family should become an example to follow!
            Another option - you and your wife are adopting / adopting children, but not Russian (their statistics have already counted), but foreign ones! Thus, increase the population of Russia. And themselves ... themselves at 2 jobs in 3 shifts to feed / clothe them ... But the whole country should know about this - your family should become an example to follow!
            Well, your option is to seize neighboring territories. But here a small problem arises - the attached peoples will not work in full force, they want to be dependent (Crimea, for example). And then .. you and your wife are at 2 jobs in 3 shifts to feed / clothe them ... But the whole country should know about it - your family should become an example to follow!
            And as you rightly pointed out:

                To answer your "And?" I need you to clarify the thesis of the "previous speaker". Hlavatu has a perfectly normal idea based on the money-commodity-money law of economics. Those. when there are many residents in the country and a huge percentage of workers, then they receive a salary for their work (money, pays taxes), spend money on purchases (goods produced in the country), and the manufacturer makes a profit (money, pays taxes). The circle is closed - the more money the people spend, the richer the country. It's that simple! Hlavatu cannot solve the problem of increasing the people of Russia (he himself admitted), he cannot increase the number of jobs (he himself admitted), he cannot increase salaries (he himself admitted), but he proposes to seize neighboring territories so that THEIR people on (or for ) it worked. So I offered him 3 ways out - let him choose.

Well, what's wrong with that? For example, the Smolensk region is the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Astrakhan and Kazan are the Tatar khanates, the Kuban is the Khazar Kaganate, Siberia also has a bunch of potential owners, etc.
                  And in this way the Russian Federation will shrink to the Moscow principality.

            Don't write nonsense about the size of the consumer market. The cost of an iPhone is no more than $ 100. Taking into account the gigantic scale of production. If the Russian Federation produced such a device, how much would it take in production, taking into account the smaller scale? Well, let it be 200, but in retail such a device costs 1000. Hence, the production cost is not a determining factor in pricing. there are no own goods because the real owner of the Russian Federation is foreign capital interested in turning the Russian Federation into a raw material appendage. Ask why imported air and auto components are not subject to VAT, and those produced in the Russian Federation are taxed at a rate of 20%. In addition, electricity in India is 1 RUB per kWh , and God-saved fatherland 5 ... With such a handicap, Russian manufacturers have no chance, no scale will help ...

              And secondly, before becoming a world leader, Apple first became a leader in the US domestic market, which had sufficient capacity for this.

              With insufficient market capacity, no odds will help local producers become leaders in the local market. They simply do not have enough resources to confront global players. Resources are not only money and materials, but also the entire infrastructure of the market, which includes the education system for training personnel, and research centers for creating new products and technologies ... and much more.

And all markets / niches are already occupied. It is possible to produce in a limited amount, but the cost will not be $ 100. Even the iPhone makers themselves didn't do it all.

              In the same place where all normal people take - by uniting with others.
              An example that has already set everyone on edge is Europe. Each of the European countries is very far from the size of a self-sufficient market, which is why they have united. And even some Eastern Europeans were pulled up. The result is 447 million people and the world's largest GDP. For all their internal problems, they are still perceived as something unified, in contrast to the CIS.

              It is significant that at about the same time the USSR was falling apart, and Europe was united smile

              There is often a feeling that the East Europeans have been dragged into the European Union so that they do not have the idea of ​​uniting with the Russian Federation.

              And the Russian Federation, in any case, will have to restore its influence on the territory of the former USSR and the Warsaw Pact. Create some kind of really working alliances or annex other territories with the population.
              Otherwise, they will be torn apart and no super-modern weapon will help.

Many do not realize that the territory of Ukraine is occupied (analogy with 1942, when the enemy is striving for Stalingrad). On the contrary, they shout: "they themselves must rise up" (the partisans themselves against the Wehrmacht, even with bare hands and without preparation, they will fight a lot, uh-huh), "Maidanis - shake things up" (that the people made a Maidan - fairy tales for shkolota) and the like, it can be long continue...

          Not. First, due to the lack of even a minimal series. Secondly, because of the specific infrastructure that almost no one else in the world has. In Syria, and even more so, no. Our MO - too; even in the form of stationary objects, not to mention mobile.

          An airship capable of at least a daily flight does not exist in the Russian Federation even as a project. Our largest airship, Au-30, has an autonomy of 12 hours and does not have the slightest conditions for resting the crew and places for placing any serious equipment. And his speed is 100 km / h - how long should he fly to the patrol area? And his ceiling is ... very bad. Any bespectacled person without glasses can detect it visually, and you can shoot it down from an elementary DShK (will it reach 1 ... 1,5 km?).

        It will not work ... The weight of the cable and the weight of the power cable will be such that there will be nothing left for the payload. Without a power cable, you will have to periodically drain it to replace the batteries, which is also not fast.

    The issues of creating an automated unmanned system were raised in the USSR back in the late 70s
    There were even experimental tests of elements of this system - robotic bombers.
    the topic is secret - I know about it only from eyewitnesses, it just surprises me that in the article the topic of flight organization is presented as a recent one.
    Since ww2, the same USA has been paying great attention to various air patrol projects. From traditional reconnaissance vehicles to exotic in the form of blimps, blackbirds, U-2s, Orion patrol aircraft, etc. In the USSR, during the war, there were entire air regiments engaged only in reconnaissance. So all this topic did not arise recently, but only moves to a new level. And in our country, unfortunately, very little attention is paid to the auxiliary forces.

      I think that this is not a libel, but another illiterate set of claims, a person who has no idea what military equipment is, and even more so if the question concerns aircraft, where pilots risk their lives. I thought that Klimov specializes in naval subjects, but he turns out to be a multi-station operator, he has already begun to decide how best to use reconnaissance equipment, and even on a civilian aircraft.
      In general, I read a lot of different nonsense from this author, but here he clearly surpassed himself. To begin with, the GOU GSH is not engaged in reconnaissance equipment at all, because this is done either by the reconnaissance of the Aerospace Forces, or the OSN brigades (6th Directorate of the GRU), which are armed with Il-20M reconnaissance aircraft.
      But the point is not even this, but the fact that the creation of any military equipment and weapons must necessarily be carried out according to the standards of military GOSTs, and no one will allow changes in this procedure, not because of retrogrades, but because there may be casualties during the operation of such weapons ... Without going into details, I just note that even e-shielding. circuits of a single-engine civil aircraft may not match the level of interference for the flawless operation of sensitive radio reconnaissance equipment. And although communication equipment can work normally in such conditions, but the receiving devices of radio intelligence can work incorrectly. And this is just one small aspect, and there are still a lot of problems even with the alignment of the aircraft when placing this equipment and related antennas and devices, operator workplaces, etc.
      I will not say anything more, but I will note that in Afghanistan we have already encountered a situation when it was necessary to urgently change to new RTR equipment in a reconnaissance aircraft, and that was a problem, because the pilots themselves feared that factory tests were not carried out ... And the fears were justified - no one knew how the non-standard equipment would behave and whether this would lead to the death of the plane and the crew in some critical situation.
      But for Klimov, these are such trifles that he will not bother with this, it is not for him to fly this plane and not be responsible for his crew. Well, his initiative looks completely ridiculous against the background of the fact that the Soviet Army had squadrons of unmanned aircraft of Tu-143 reconnaissance aircraft and even then methods of their use in combat conditions were worked out. So the "discovery of America" ​​did not take place - I think there are specialists in the VKS and GRU General Staff who are able to understand what is needed in Syria to conduct intelligence. And the downed Il-20M suggests that they worked there very seriously, since this plane was there.
      In general, paper will endure everything for Klimov. It is a pity that many ignorant people will believe in what he expresses, although by and large it smacks of an unhealthy perception of reality.

        The author speaks of the technique only as options. Here the parquet officers are a reality, and in the near future, a bloody reality for Russia. My personal conversation with an officer of no small position, revolved around "why the heck do we generally fight in foreign territories, and so everything is fine." The "mold of pacifism" among the officers and the Moscow headquarters corridors has reached a dangerous level. With their brains fattened on state grub, they will plunge Russia into a new "Finnish company". There, too, was foreign territory. But the political situation forced them to fight. The results of the victory for the USSR were stunningly bloody. The commanders ditched our battalions and regiments not out of malice, but out of illiteracy. And "today" Palmyra for some reason had to be assaulted 2 times. The first reason is the cerebral relaxation of the parquet officers. The second reason is the lack of special (cheap) technology for low-intensity warfare. This is what the author of the article is talking about. And in response to him "clever men" about cameras and wiring shielding say. The cases of such "clever men" are called the "Italian strike"; it is well treated by clearing the headquarters of parquet officers. We will have General Lebed 2 as our Minister of Defense. Then the "Italian strike" will be called sabotage and will be treated by dismissal from the army without the right to wear a uniform and without a pension. Amen.

          Yes, for a political reason, and not because the military does not know how to fight. Before you carry on nonsense about 1939, for a start, at least study what is in service with us now. And if you want to fight hard, no one bothers to go to serve in the Russian army, or at worst, enlist in a PMC. Only you will never do this - from the couch you are a great strategist, but as soon as it touches the case, so "nema bad".

            You are an experienced troll colleague, which does not in the least drop your authority as an expert. This is in response to your personal attacks. In essence, I will note the following. First-hand information was available to me in 1939, i.e. direct participants in the war. One platoon commander of the second regiment. I rely on their expert opinion also on primary sources. Transcript. "Meeting at the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of the commanding staff to collect experience of military operations against Finland" April 14-17, 1940. Zinoviev I. D. "Fight surrounded". - Moscow: Military Publishing, 1941. This is about the readiness of our equipment and our officers to fight on foreign territory in a low-intensity war. It is worth noting that the efforts of the chief of general staff in increasing readiness for such a war are noticeable. However, the notorious "Italian strike" of parquet officers - pacifists is a great slowdown in this process. Perhaps not out of malice, but from limited thinking. Maxim Aleksandrovich Klimov is making efforts to help such people. And I am moderately burdened by military scientific work and experience in military affairs, an expert, I support him. I remind you, dear ccsr, that history does not teach anyone, but it punishes negligent students to whom you relate strictly.

              I won't talk about the level of the platoon commander, but the level of the regiment commander, of course, speaks volumes, and therefore where can one get acquainted with his PERSONAL opinion in official documents? Because conversations without documentary confirmation can not always be accurate - people's memory sometimes fails, and the one who listens can distort everything himself, not understanding what was being discussed.

              And what did you find there that led to a radical reform in the Red Army?
              Here is the end of the first day:
              OBORIN. Although I am a bad scout, but if I had been given a business trip there, I would have spotted everything (laughter). As a result, due to lack of intelligence, we have shed a lot of unnecessary blood.
              Now about preparation and discipline. The command staff must be trained in the school. Here we have liberalism and democracy. It is necessary to squeeze the commander so that all the water comes out of him, then there will be a sense from him, but we come from the school with rounded bellies, the commanders are poorly trained.
              About the junior commander. The junior commander is the basis of physical fitness. Not everyone is engaged in physical training. She was in the old army, I was trained in the training team so that I am still doing physical training (laughter). Don't look that I have a tummy.
              When I come to the resort, do a squat, the doctor says: you are doing the squat correctly, you are probably an athlete. But for us nothing comes out of this case. I was in command of the school for four years, and I decided to prepare junior commanders properly. I remembered how I was taught in the old army. He began to teach his commanders. They started calling me. They summon the political department and say that you torture people, and I have an order from the People's Commissar, good party experience, since 1917 in the army, a worker, so I don't give up. But another would not have done this, I decided, since the political department intervened, I will not do this anymore. I continued to study. Commissions began to come to me.
              MECHLIS. What school was it in and what year?
              OBORIN. It was in Dnepropetrovsk in 1929. And now this business continues. What are they doing? They come with a commission in the mornings, I have 40 minutes of exercise, 25 minutes without rest running, I myself ran in front, you can't take me. In the morning a doctor comes, a representative from the political department, they saw that I myself was running, they left.
              This is what I say, for example. We need to put an end to this liberalism, to this bureaucracy and to demand from the commander, to give him full opportunity so that no threat rises above him. Of course, if he misbehaves, we will be able to put him in his place.
              Here is the junior commander. We need a junior commander like the old fireworks in the artillery and in the infantry too. So you need to work out and change the name to it.
              STALIN. How?
              OBORIN. In the tsarist army, a fireworks was called, so to call it.
              STALIN. And in the infantry?
              OBORIN. Feldwebel, foreman. You can also name the sergeant-major. We have this word worn out. And I must say, when I was a foreman, I remembered how Nikita Nikitovich Tolstoy did, and I did the same. And it worked out well for me.
              STALIN. Should the rank of general be restored?
              OBORIN. To maintain the authority of our Red Army and the great country, I believe that it is necessary to introduce a general's rank. Why are we worse than others?
              One more question. They talked about decryption here. This really hurt me when Comrade. Khrenov spoke. I ask why you, comrade. Fuck, do you need decryption? Is decryption bad? Who was in charge of this case? This is an artillery case. Here comrade. Parsegov said that reinforcement was needed. I need to have two squadrons. Then fighters are needed for cover. And it turns out ridiculously: I ask that they give fighters for cover. My "R-5" flies to them and says - let's fly, and he looks what the weather is - flying or not. Then they flew, he spun around and said: I'll go home. And "R-5" too.
              STALIN. Insubordination?
              OBORIN. Yes, you have to subdue. You also need equipment that does the shooting. When the shooting is done, then I hand it over to the corps commander, a clear picture is obtained and I know what to do. And this was poorly delivered here. In order to take the target, it was difficult to establish, the whole bagpipe turned out. It is necessary to have aviation, apparatus and decryption in the corps. We did the decryption ourselves, we have decryptors. That's all.

              And that everything appeared in the corps immediately after the meeting and was already in 1941? Well, they also restored the ranks of general - this is important, but this did not improve the combat readiness of the troops.
              An ordinary meeting to sum up the results of the Finnish war at a high level, which in fact did not in any way affect the readiness of the spacecraft for an attack by the Germans - that was the whole result of this meeting. Some stories about a sanatorium and physical training at a meeting of a strategic level are generally the limit of unprofessionalism, although given the fact that the audience was motley, it might have been better.

You yourself will entrust your treatment to such a "doctor" as Klimov, or turn to an ordinary therapist of a district clinic who has been treating people all his life. It's the same with the army - an ophthalmologist cannot be a good proctologist - he looks people in the eyes, and not in theirs. And Klimov promises to heal the fleet, aviation, now the Strategic Missile Forces still remain - probably they will try to cure them too ...

                Dear ccsr / It's a shame that in the USSR and during the last peaceful year, they could not do the priority measures. Will they have time in Russia? Judging by the discussion about the nature of modern war, they will not be in time. Academics and generals broke their spears, in disputes for what type of war to prepare. Starting from the fantastic "hyper, piper" "many medium wars" and ending with front-line operations of the "Kursk Bulge" type.
                I ask my esteemed colleagues to refer to the authoritative primary sources, to which I rank: Martin van Creveld with his work "Transformation of War"; A.I. Podberezkina, M.V. Aleksandrova with the monograph "Strategic Forecasting and Planning of Foreign and Defense Policy". These authors, without denying Karl von Clausewitz, built a coherent scientific theory based on two types of wars. Interstate war and low intensity war.
                One of the authoritative military experts K. V. Sivkov notes that Russia is better prepared for an interstate war than for a low-intensity war. It's hard to disagree with him. We will discuss this topic in relation to the branches of the army of the Russian Federation.
                In my opinion, the most intense bifurcation is now being experienced by the air defense of the ground forces and the navy. This is facilitated by new challenges in their area of ​​responsibility. For example, the emergence of middle and heavy class UAVs has undermined the unquestioning faith in the omnipotence of anti-aircraft missile systems. And the introduction of hypersonic anti-ship missiles into service has nullified the dominance of attack aircraft carrier groups. Let us analyze the effectiveness of air defense operations of ground forces in a low-intensity war. According to military experts and practitioners, it is time to supplement anti-aircraft missile systems with large-caliber artillery from 57 mm and larger. The advent of programmable shells saved anti-aircraft artillery from the mass shooting of ammunition "somewhere in the direction of the target." Now a burst of classic three shots is enough to hit any target. Please note that radar support for artillery fire is not inferior to missile systems. It is known that the economy of low intensity war is one of the main factors for achieving the goals of war. Let's start with the economy.
                Battery technology, large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery, with comparable efficiency for a UAV, with an air defense system battery, costs 10-20 times cheaper. Ten programmable artillery shells for hitting a single target cost 30 times cheaper than an anti-aircraft missile of the same effective range. A natural question arises. Where are these guns? "Derivation-Air Defense" is being tested in Russia at a snail's pace. There is absolutely no decent anti-aircraft artillery in NATO countries either. Problem diagnosis, as old as the world. These are the design bureaus of air defense missile systems, bronze in their grandeur, and successful managers who have joined them, who have their own not small gesheft. "To whom the war, and to whom the mother is dear."
                The classic example for analysis is the Vietnam War. There, most of the aircraft were shot down by anti-aircraft artillery. Approximately 3227 high quality American jet birds. The impressive figure is not true. The modern example is Syria. We do not know how many Shells and Thors missiles were spent there. But, about 80 UAVs of model aircraft type, totaling 11 million rubles, were shot down by them.
                Analogous calculations suggest that the spent rockets cost more than 300 million rubles.
                For the lack of modern combat experience, we apply theoretical calculations to artillery. If we plan to spend ten programmable shells on a target. This means that the destruction of 80 UAVs will cost the treasury not 300 million rubles, but 5 million rubles. This is the economy of a low-intensity war Again, I turn to the theme of the parquet officers - pacifists. It is only through their fault that a division of 57 mm anti-aircraft guns on wheeled carriages does not stand in combat trials in Syria. For four years we have been waiting for the self-propelled Derivation, which may not work. Result. Troops in Syria continue to burn hundreds of millions of rubles on anti-aircraft missiles and squirm in exercises with Turkish "barracks". “Well, we are not 41 years old, and the war is not on our territory” ...

If you really want to compare with something, then it is better with the war in Yugoslavia - this is a typical example of a new type of war, for which we are now preparing our troops. Testing in Syria has shown that we will no longer fight in large numbers - only due to our technological superiority, we will destroy our opponents if we cannot use nuclear weapons.

                  The main thing is that our people do not die, and we find money, since we keep troops there. To be honest, I do not understand your hope for 57 mm anti-aircraft systems on wheels - who will indicate the targets to them, and their firing range is limited. Why is all this fencing?

                      I see no contradiction - keeping more than 4 million under arms in the USSR and a small contingent in Syria now, these are two big differences. Moreover, you just do not know that during the Soviet era there were two decent objects of the Ministry of Defense in Syria - a naval base and a pear expedition. So count what it cost even then.

    I would only be "for", return "Gzhel" to the sky, but how to conduct reconnaissance from it? Visually? Poor visibility from anywhere. Radar? There is nowhere to hang the radar. Photo? A large photo hatch in a sealed circuit => design recalculation and a bunch of improvements, which in our conditions will stretch for a year (not counting the bureaucracy). The same plug - if desired, cut through the photo blister in the sidewall of the fuselage.
    Quick return to service? They stood in the open sky for at least 7-10 years, with the exception of one side, which Zavod-21 uses as a traveling one.

        From myself I will only add that the capabilities of air defense since WWII have grown "a little". A container with a camera, of course, does not require a sealed contour, but a full-fledged AFA takes up more space than a compact container can provide, which can be hung under the "Gzhel". She is small. And it will have to be placed inside the fuselage.

But with the military, this is not possible: not according to GOST, not according to instructions - the consequences up to landing. Even placing a simple laptop with a GPS sensor in an airplane (albeit with the ability to connect to the onboard power supply) required approval from the Aviation Design Bureau. Although it would seem - just a laptop, there are no questions at all in passenger planes.

      Peter himself was a military man, and he knew what tricks any soldier would go to not to do what he did not want. So a silly look is just a protective mask, and it won't occur to you how quickly an officer thinks when he sees that he is being forced to do some kind of garbage, and he urgently needs to find a reason not to do it. More than one personal computer is unable to calculate what in a split second rushes through his head, but the found argument for refusing to do work is even more striking. And when the boss hears this, he has no choice but to bark and force him to comply with the order, or to do the work himself for his subordinate. All this is learned in the course of a long service, and therefore not everyone understands what is hidden by a "silly look" ...

      Respect to Klimov, a brave man, he is right. For ccsr, I can say that his commentary is deep theoretical speculation on the one hand and a cover for those figures in the RF Ministry of Defense who, hiding behind clever words about GOST, OTT of the Air Force and other smart books, do not want to do shit and do not have the proper competence. In many cases, the requirements for military equipment are excessive and impracticable in a reasonable time frame. And the problem must be solved here and now. The issue of continuous reconnaissance is closed by a pair of Tu-214s, two flights each 8 hours each, if the problem needs to be solved. If you really need to, you can strain and re-equip a couple more Tu-154s from the presence by installing optics and RTR and PP and DISS (because of electronic warfare), or you can also a side-looking locator. If you don’t click with a mitten, don’t start competitions, write TTZ for 200 pages and design work for 20 years, the plane will be refitted in 6 months maximum, and you can do it faster. There is no need to invent, we have everything, maybe not as cool as the Americans, but for Syria for the eyes. It is clear that the Tu-214 and 154 and even the Il-20 are redundant for this theater of operations, but there is no other. And the UAV, yes, must be done, as well as communication channels, satellites, but this is a long time, and the war is going on now. The problem of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is a huge bureaucratic mechanism that is not able to quickly make well-grounded verified technical decisions and quickly implement them. Although with all the collapse in the industry and the stupidity of the leadership, she is still able to work quickly. For ccsr Р and РТР, sticking into the plane is not a question at all, tk. this equipment does not emit, but listens (EMC requirements are minimal), most of the time will be spent on making a fairing for the antenna.

        For the T-12, what are these specialized reconnaissance aircraft, how the flight of an electronic reconnaissance aircraft differs from the flight of a passenger aircraft on the Moscow-Sochi route. All over the world, a suitable transport aircraft is taken and equipped with the necessary equipment, antennas and windows and forward, and if you can get a lot of money, you can also refuel in the air and let it hang until the crew swells up or the oil in the turbojet engine tank starts running out (this is perhaps the main limitation, but hours for 20 is enough).

        It is because of such "specialists" that in 1941 our tanks' engines broke down after several hours of operation, and the clutch burned out, and the pilots had little flight time, because the aircraft engine resource did not allow intensive combat training. But for that, thousands of tanks and hundreds of aircraft were destroyed not even in battle, but because they could not get under way on June 22, and then Stalin and some of the military were blamed for everything.
        By the way, do you even know how many people died in the Soviet Army before the collapse of the country, and how many of them were due to technical failures? And then the boat "Moskovsky Komsomolets" was lost, everything was written off as naval, and hushed up for clarity, because the industry did not want to answer. And here you are rubbing in something about the requirements, completely not realizing that because of this people are dying in peacetime.

        Quote: DWG1905
        If you really need to, you can strain and re-equip a couple more Tu-154s from the presence by installing optics and RTR and PP and DISS (because of electronic warfare), or you can also a side-looking locator.

        First, calculate the cost of the flight and fuel consumption, maybe the whim will pass. The Il-20M was just the most optimal aircraft, and taking into account its reliability, it is not at all clear to me why they switch to the Tu-214R, if the classic Tu-95 is still used in strategic aviation. There is only one reason - the Il-18 as a glider is no longer advisable to maintain at all, so they switched to another aircraft.
        Quote: DWG1905
        the aircraft is refitted in 6 months maximum, or faster.

        Those. converted in an unrealistic time, and he flew right away? And you don't need to test it at all?
        Are you out of your mind when you talk about such terms?
        Quote: DWG1905
        It is clear that the Tu-214 and 154 and even the Il-20 are redundant for this theater of operations, but there is no other.

        What makes you think that the Il-20M was redundant there? Tell us who told you this, and what do you personally have to do with intelligence to say this?
        Quote: DWG1905
        For ccsr Р and РТР, sticking into the plane is not a question at all, tk. this equipment does not emit, but listens (EMC requirements are minimal), most of the time will be spent on making a fairing for the antenna.

        And the side-looking radar also does not emit? Do not take into account the weight and placement of RTR equipment when designing, but simply place it as you like? And the fact that during an emergency landing it can rip it off the mountings and smear someone's head is also not necessary to take into account - you will be responsible for everything later, well, well ...

          From Klimov:

          Ensign TsTSSR:
          It is because of such "specialists" that in 1941 our tanks' engines broke down after several hours of operation, and the clutch burned out, and the pilots had little flight time, because the aircraft engine resource did not allow intensive combat training.


          MK: this is a LIE and an illiterate trash of reality - see the video on the Red Army Air Force BP on "Tactic Media"

          Ensign TsTSSR:
          And then the boat "Moskovsky Komsomolets" died,


          MK: Ensign, YOU already have MUSTARD BREDD there was no such submarine, there was a destroyer (project 56), - on a hike at YOU already "Moskovskaya vodka" turned to "Belochka-Komsomolets"

          Ensign TsTSSR:
          And the rest of the time, who will conduct reconnaissance, especially considering that this is an operational reconnaissance aircraft?


          MK: i.e. not looking at their STREAMS OF LIES, the fraudulent ensign of TsTSSRE EXCELLENTLY UNDERSTANDS that in fact there is practically NOTHING to conduct the necessary reconnaissance ...

          Ensign TsTSSR:
          First, calculate the cost of the flight and fuel consumption, maybe the whim will pass. The Il-20M was just the most optimal aircraft, and taking into account its reliability, it is not at all clear to me why they switch to Tu-214R,


          MK: Prapor TsTSSR simply has no idea about the RESOURCE of the aircraft design, which, alas, very little remained in the very good aircraft and the Il-20M reconnaissance aircraft

          Ensign TsTSSR:
          if the classic Tu-95 is still used in strategic aviation.


          MK: Prapor, do you even know that they have DIFFERENT ENGINES?

          Ensign TsTSSRe:
          Those. converted in an unrealistic time, and he flew right away? And you don't need to test it at all? Are you out of your mind when you talk about such terms?


          MK: warrant officer, YOU RAVE and SHOOT here (not having the slightest idea of ​​R&D, aviation, or RR and RTR). the real time is MUCH LESS (when using ready-made "special means") and re-equipment includes incl. and necessary tests

          Ensign TsSSRe:
          What makes you think that the Il-20M was redundant there? Tell us who told you this, and what do you personally have to do with intelligence to say this?


          MK: with the fact that the dimensions of this theater are reliably covered by an aircraft with a LOT lower operating cost (correspondingly, without the need to "kill" the remains of the resource of especially valuable scouts). By the way, ensign, what do YOU ​​have to do with intelligence? The fact that YOU were drinking with ensigns from "HRU-HRU-HROOM" (which YOU were "in secret" whispering about the "coordinates of American aircraft carriers")?

          Ensign TsSSRe:
          And the side-looking radar also does not emit? Do not take into account the weight and placement of RTR equipment when designing, but simply place it as you like? And the fact that during an emergency landing it can rip it off the mountings and smear someone's head is also not necessary to take into account - you will be responsible for everything later, well, well ...


          MK: The radar can be installed or not. In a specific situation (according to M-101T), the radar issue WAS CONSIDERED (prototype). At the same time, the M-101T would not have had ANY problems with it (as it did not have with it on a number of other aircraft where it was already deployed). According to the "placement", - the screeching of an illiterate ensign TsTSSRe is simply ridiculous, for the INSTALLATION BY CONSIDERATION WITH THE AIRCRAFT DEVELOPER (who WERE CONSIDERED such options and IMMEDIATED IN THE DESIGN OF THE AIRCRAFT IMMEDIATELY)

          From myself I will add - ensign, why did you cite the Tu-95 as an example? These aircraft are not old at all, the last board was handed over to the Customer after the collapse of the USSR, the Il-20M is a completely different story.

          And yes:

          The ensign flaunts the fact that he was somewhere and did something, but in fact, he solved issues in the service like this:



          We also pay attention to how ccsr is written in the Russian layout - he did it on purpose, he enjoys such deviant behavior, the same pathology forces the ensign to write what he writes.
          He got smart words on the forums, and you can even show them on which ones. He knows nothing but clearing snow.

      There was no concentration there, there were separate forward detachments of ISIS, a few dozen bandits, and the blow was struck on the move, in the traditional Arab style, which is why it happened.

      I did not write from storage, in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation there is nothing special to take from storage. I wrote Tu-154 from the presence (in a state of airworthiness), and these are two big differences. Crew training - 3 months. And from storage, you can search in other government departments, and shake private traders (indirectly, all the same, it’s on the people's money) and you will be surprised to find many Tu-204,214 aircraft that still fly and fly. Moreover, all the same, the planes from private traders will not rise into the air, sooner or later they will be sent as scrap metal. I think that 5 additional machines can be quickly brought into airworthiness condition. And DISS is needed due to the fact that all and sundry satellites crush and generate false coordinates. That is, if there is a real need, the grouping of reconnaissance aircraft can be increased. And with Palmyra, I think there is more than a joint intelligence, mainly SAR. The Barmalei did not have an SS Panzer Corps with the Royal Tigers, but light mobile forces that could quickly concentrate. Therefore, here you need to know the plans of the enemy, and the counting of carts in the desert will not show much.

          Absolutely correct assessment - the main thing for him is to crawl so that everyone understands how preoccupied he is, and that even if everyone does as he fantasizes, then where to do it all later, and whether the money spent will be thrown away. And isn't it better to spend money on the development of a full-fledged reconnaissance aircraft, taking into account the long history of the Te-214R, and not engage in manilovism. And then one more "specialist" was found - let's adapt the ancient Tu-154 for aerial reconnaissance, as if it were to attach a homemade sidecar to a motorcycle at home.

            Fraudulent ensign TsTSSRE!
            1. Airplanes ALREADY EXIST, with a huge residual resource and a MINIMUM (which is simply not close) cost of a flight hour.
            2. REMOVABLE special equipment (literally "you can put it on your hands", antennas and their placement - in agreement with EMZ, other "special equipment", including detailed OE of reconnaissance - in accordance with the (long) READY CD EMZ, everything is elementary , stupidly because when the plane (including its SPECIAL variants) was being developed it all had a LOT of large MGHs.
            3. RAVE about "the development of another reconnaissance aircraft" can be either a complete layman (or a warrant officer for the footcloths of the CCSR), who does not have the slightest idea about the development of aircraft and the means of RR and RTR
            4. A warrant officer TsTSSRe, like a thimble-giver, "juggles" the words Tu-214R and Il-20M without having the slightest idea what is behind them and what are the real possibilities of these "special ships" ..
            5. Yes, there is a VERY shortage of reconnaissance aircraft, both for the Navy and the Aerospace Forces (including in Syria).
            6. The fraudulent warrant officer TsTSSRe can only screech about allegedly "leaving no pants" (and about an aircraft with a cost of one or two ORDERSES less than "traditional" reconnaissance aircraft), because he has no idea, neither about R&D, nor about special intelligence assets and their use. All his tales about how his "sidekick-prapora from xRy-xRu-xRu" "secretly and in the ear" whispered in "realtime" the coordinates of American aircraft carriers (etc. "creative") - this is "ward number 6".

            And on my own behalf I will add this - the ensign flaunts the fact that he was somewhere and did something, but in fact, he solved issues in the service like this:



            We also pay attention to how ccsr is written in the Russian layout - this creature did it on purpose, he enjoys such deviant behavior, the same pathology forces the ensign to write what he writes.

    If you really need to, you can strain and re-equip a couple more Tu-154s from the presence by installing optics and RTR and PP and DISS (because of electronic warfare), or you can also a side-looking locator. If you don’t click with a mitten, don’t start competitions, write TTZ for 200 pages and design work for 20 years, the plane will be refitted in 6 months maximum, and you can do it faster.

    It will not work in our conditions. For six months only letters will be written to each other and meetings of cooperation participants will be held.
